Revolutionizing Vertical Jump Tracking

Vertical jump testing has traditionally depended on special jump board fixtures or stationary equipment. Tracking multiple players or measurements required tedious record keeping. With VERT, vertical jump testing can now be done anywhere, anytime. The smartphone or tablet companion app continuously logs and displays multiple jumps or jumpers for post-analysis. Small and discrete, VERT is worn by the athlete and displays real time vertical measurements on the device or wirelessly in real-time.​

Motivate Players

When players see instant feedback on their jumping performance, it inspires and excites them to improve. VERT is an excellent training and coaching tool, since it taps into athletes' naturally competitive spirits. Mary Wise, head volleyball coach at the University of Florida, says "VERT is a game changer".

Personal or Spectator App

You can record, track, and share real-time statistics with the VERT app, free on iOS. Spectators can follow an athlete's performance as it happens on their smart device or look for the new VERTcast feature in your local stadium for a new experience with volleyball.​Coaches can monitor the athlete's performance, fans can follow their favorite players and parents can better enjoy their kids' games...it's fun for everyone!

Compatible with AcuSpike

Using VERT in combination with AcuSpike's ruled height indicator gives players and coaches deep insight into the volleyball attack. For example, it can show you vertical jump gradually increases as the players become warmed up, and how AcuSpike can be adjusted to accommodate.

Prevent and Manage Injuries

Since VERT measures jump count, it can be used as part of a training regimen, or as an indicator to prevent overtraining. When an athlete is recovering from injury, the jump trend display and jump count are invaluable. This feedback can be employed to monitor progress and gradually ramp up the physical therapy regimen. VERT helps athletes return quickly and efficiently to pre-injury performance.

Advanced Technology

​VERT is a wearable miniature inertial measurement unit (IMU), with a very high precision 3X gyroscope and high precision high rate 3X accelerometer. VERT unit calculates motion using a built-in ARM Cortex M3. The VERT unit has a proprietary algorithm that has over 53 simultaneous calculations to measure vertical height. VERT has a built-in OLED display for instant display. VERT also has built-in Bluetooth 4.0, which communicates with proprietary VERT app in iOS supported products. VERT app syncs with VERT and displays results in real-time. Compatibility: iOS devices with Bluetooth 4.0, Android app will be supported in the near future.

"VERT allows us to track our training loads in a way that's never been done before. It's already helping us train SMARTER and ​better preserve our most precious resource: our athletes and their health.” ​

​Karch Kiraly, USA Women's National Team

"VERT provides our program with valuable information that assists us in everything from injury prevention to player development."
